Diogo Costa’s strong performances at the Euros will see Chelsea move to sign him, Spanish website Fichajes reported on Wednesday. The Selecao goalkeeper was the hero of the match against Slovenia, making three saves in the penalty shootout (3-0).
Chelsea have been monitoring the player since last year and are not deterred by the fact that he is contracted until 2026 and has a €75 million release clause.
True, Andre Villas-Boas has already expressed his desire to continue his career as a goalkeeper in the new season, but the financial difficulties that the “Dragons” are experiencing are also known. And the recognition of the goalkeeper could allow them to receive significant financial income. According to the same news, the “Dragons” are looking at Rui Silva (goalkeeper of “Betis”).
